The father brought a motion to change a 2017 parenting order concerning a young child.
He argued that a material change in circumstances had occurred due to employment changes, relocation back to the child’s community, the birth of the child’s sibling, and the mother’s unilateral restriction of parenting time.
The court found a material change had occurred and held that the child’s best interests required a more stable and balanced parenting schedule.
The court rejected the father’s request for a two‑week rotating schedule but implemented a week‑about shared parenting arrangement and replaced the earlier order.
The court also recalculated child support arrears and set a payment plan while maintaining joint decision‑making responsibility.
